Belleek Claddagh "Makeup" Bell

Did you know that giving a bell to a loved one brings good luck? Now that you do, give your favorite Irish couple a Belleek Claddagh "Makeup" Bell. When they are having the inevitable lovers' spat, ringing the bell will bring the spirit of love back into the relationship. The Belleek Bell is 3 ¾" tall, made of Parian china and embossed with the claddagh, a symbol of loyalty, friendship, and love. And just in case your Irish pals aren't aware of this particular tradition, it comes with a story card. This beautifully crafted gift is available $26.99.

Celtic Dog and Cat Stepping Stones

These beautiful, Irish stepping stones make a beautiful addition to any garden path or front yard. Each pair contains one cat and one dog curled into the sleeping position and resting on shamrocks and Celtic knots. They may be used as stepping stones, or hung on a wall. Their versatility means that they make great housewarming gifts. And, they are only $14 a pair, so you can buy enough to make a long path and matching decoration for the front door.

Guinness Heritage Pint Glasses (set of 4)

Its hard to get more Irish than Guinness. This is my favorite beer, and drinking it in official Guinness glasses just makes it taste better. Seriously. Your Irish friends will enjoy entertaining with authentic Guinness Glasses, and will think of you every time they use them. The glasses are tulip style and each one features a different advertisement from the company's past, which the Guinness enthusiast will really appreciate. Guinness pint glasses make great house warming, birthday, and 'just because' gifts. And, Shop Irish offers the set for only $40.

Personalized Name and Coat of Arms Flag

Are your Irish friends feeling separated from their homeland? Come to the rescue with an Irish flag featuring their family name and coat of arms. For a mere $30, Shop Irish will print your friends' family information on a three foot by five foot polyester flag. But be sure to order early as it takes around four weeks for delivery.

Solar Leprechaun for the Garden

Another great housewarming gift, this vergigris leprechaun makes a quaint garden accent. The classically rendered leprechaun is standing by a lamp post that is a solar powered lamp that provides up to 12 hours of light. It is nearly two feet tall and stands on a 7" wide base. At $50, this enviable work of art is a steal. I bought two of them for my mother's porch, and she can't get enough of them. And they run on 'green' energy which is not only popular right now, but sends a great environmental message.
